RESUMEN
La enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) representa la causa más
frecuente de demencia a nivel mundial. Existen diversos procesos
fisiopatológicos propuestos para el desarrollo de este
desorden neurodegenerativo, como la acumulación de depósitos
extracelulares de proteínas como la β-amiloide (Aβ) y formas
intracelulares hiperfosforiladas de Tau. Este proceso promueve
cambios conductuales, así como deterioro cognitivo y funcional
progresivo. Recientemente, el sistema glinfático (SG) ha cobrado
relevancia debido a la función reguladora de metabolitos
cerebrales y a la facilitación de depuración de estos productos
neurotóxicos. Es por ello que esta investigación centra su atención
en aquellos factores genéticos y físicos que afectan a este
sistema para promover el desarrollo de posibles intervenciones
terapéuticas y preventivas para el desarrollo de EA.
